Real Power

We are powerful beyond measure, and so deeply vulnerable at the same time. This may seem like a dichotomy, but it isn’t. We have misunderstood real power. It has been something assertive, non-surrendering, pushing on through. This is not real power. This is simply willfulness. Real power is something else- receptivity, openness, the courage to keep your heart open on the darkest of days, the strength to feel it all even when the odds are stacked against you. Real power is showing up with your heart on your sleeve and absolutely refusing to waste one moment of your life hidden behind edginess and armor. -Jeff Brown

From Shaman Tube and Goddess of Sacred Sex

Love is a magic ray
emitted from the burning core
of the soul
and illuminating
the surrounding earth.

It enables us
to perceive life
as a beautiful dream
between one awakening
and another. 

~Kahlil Gibran

The spiritual path is not a matter of growing more
metaphysically complicated; it's a process where we actually grow simpler and simpler, as we apply certain basic principles to everything we go through.
We don't learn love, which is already etched on our hearts; we do, however, begin to unlearn fear.
And with every change we make from blame to blessing, we pierce the veil of illusion that separates us from the world we want.
~ Marianne Williamson
